HONOLULU — The ice bag stayed firmly wrapped on Anthony Brown’s right shoulder. Lakers trainer Gary Vitti stood nearby finalizing plans for Brown to receive an MRI at a nearby hospital after the Lakers’ rookie small forward bumped his shoulder through a hard screen.
“It’s not horrible,” Anthony said in an interview with Los Angeles News Group. “I want to take precaution. So I sat out. But it’s not horrible.”
The Lakers can only hope.
As much as the Lakers hope their younger and more talented roster will ensure a better finish than last season’s 21-61 mark, another disturbing trend has followed the team through only seven days into training camp.
